Detecting device and detecting method
First Claim
1. A detecting device comprising:
- a plurality of first storage elements, each of which is disposed on power lines, configured to generate driving power on the basis of an alternating-current signal communicated through the power lines, load-modulate the alternating-current signal communicated through the power lines, and output stored first identification information of a plurality of outlets through the power lines;
a communication unit configured to receive the first identification information of the plurality of outlets output by the plurality of first storage elements through the power lines; and
a detecting unit configured to detect, on the basis of the received first identification information of the plurality of outlets, whether an electronic device is connected to or disconnected from the power lines.

Abstract
Various aspects of a detecting method and a detecting device to detect a state change of power lines are disclosed herein. The detecting device includes a plurality of storage elements, a communication unit and a detection unit. The plurality of storage elements are disposed on power lines and generates a driving power by load-modulating an alternating-current signal communicated through the power lines. The plurality of storage elements further outputs stored first identification information of a plurality of outlets through the power lines. The communication unit receives the first identification information of the plurality of outlets output by the plurality of storage element through the power lines. The detection unit detects change in states of the power lines on the basis of the first identification information of the plurality of outlets.
